Madonna has been named Billboard's 2016 Woman of the Year

Queen of Pop Madonna Louise Ciccone has been named Billboard's 2016
Woman of the Year. According to Janice Min, the president and chief
creative officer of The Hollywood Reporter-Billboard Media Group,

"Madonna is one of a miniscule number of super-artists whose influence
and career transcend music. With her creative vision, relentless
innovation, and dedication to philanthropic causes, she is an
inspiration to hundreds of millions of people around the world, all
while shattering every career record out there. She is an important feminist on top of that, a
one-of-a-kind artist who’s used her influence to change the conversation
around women, sexuality and equal rights."
'From her Prince tribute alongside Stevie Wonder at the 2016 Billboard
Music Awards to her political Met Gala appearance to her indelible
commentary on the 2016 election, Madonna has remained a constant force
in pop culture and source of cultural conversation over the past year,'
Billboard reports.

'In addition to being the first female pop star with true control of
her career and image, Madonna is the best-selling female recording
artist of all time. She's earned 8 No. 1 albums (and 21 top 10 albums)
on the Billboard 200 and 12 No. 1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100. With
her 46th No. 1 on the Dance Club Songs chart in 2015, she extended her
own record for the most No. 1s on a single Billboard chart.

She also holds the record for the most top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot
100 chart with 38.'
Also, her 'philanthropic efforts are effecting real change in the
world.' She will be honoured at the 11th annual Women in Music event, on
Dec. 9 in New York City.
